mother. baby. birthPregnancy can be a wonderful time in a woman's life. Giving birth can be a powerful emotional and life changing experience for a women and her family.
For most women birth is a normal, natural and safe life event. Where there is respect and dignity and a woman is with a carer she trusts she has the potential to be transformed and empowered by her birth experience.
As your midwife I will support you and your partner through the excitement of your pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. I hope to be someone you can share your joy, expectations, fears, doubts and worries with. I believe women will choose the right place of birth for her baby when she feels confident and informed. Women should never choose a place of birth out of fear but where she feels instinctively she wants to be either at home, birth centre or hospital.
Choosing an independent midwife gives you an opportunity to develop a special relationship. Personalised care carried out in your home, where you and your family are at the centre of all decision making regarding your care. A midwife is an experienced professional in normal pregancy and birth, offering help and guidence, they can detect when pregnancy and birth deviate from the normal, referring on when appropriate. Midwives are experienced in collaborating with the other health care professionals before, during or after you give birth such as your GP, Physiotherapist, Obstetrician or Paediatrician when needed.
